SUPPLEMENT AND TEXT: Hypertextualizing highly
referential texts makes them much more accessible to the non-scholar. Hypertextualizing
a text makes reference materials more available in some ways, although
it creates a bigger distinction between linked texts and unlinked texts,
such that relatively, unlinked texts are unreachable. Hypertextual texts
blur the boundaries between supplement and text. The breakdown of distinctions
between text and supplement which is possible with hypertext lends itself
to metaphors about cyborgs and the relation between the body and technological
prostheses.
